The XX Settembre area, around Via XX Settembre and Castro Pretorio, is a largely institutional and residential district of ministries, the Ministero della Difesa, and the US Embassy annex, bordering Termini station to its south. It sits at the edge of the official Termini/Esquilino "zona rossa" enhanced-surveillance zone and has seen some spillover of the same predatory-crime and drug-dealing concerns documented there. The government/embassy character of the area keeps a visible security presence, and no pattern of serious or recurring violent crime specific to this zone was found beyond that.

This link is already scoped to this area (not the whole city), using the neighbourhood's real coordinates.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Rome publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.
Frequently asked questions

Wandroz currently rates XX Settembre in Rome as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Rome at night. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Rome publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is XX Settembre safe at night?
At night, XX Settembre is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Rome. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is XX Settembre a good area to stay in as a tourist?
XX Settembre's day rating (an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. The Booking.com link on this page searches XX Settembre itself.
Is there official crime data for XX Settembre?
Not an official government crime feed — XX Settembre's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know XX Settembre well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
